- Size : 10 cm x 10 cm
- Base Material: Pure Titanium in Gr1
- Coating: Platinum
- Coating Area: Double Side and connection stem
- Platinum Coating Thickness: 2-5 micron
- Plate Type: Solid Plates
- Life spans: 15-20 years

5. Number of Electrode Plates in the Electrolysis Cell: 2

1. Electrode dimensions: 100 mm x 100 mm =100 cm² /pc (estimated)

2. Distance between the electrodes: 10 mm
Cathode space is divided from the anode space by the semi-permeable membrane in
equal parts (5 mm + 5 mm)

6. Water flow speed: 8 liters per hour (through the Cathode space) + 8 liters per hour
(through the Anode space) = 16 liter/ hour total

7. Electric current (nominal value): the required current flow I(fact) = 7.6 mA ˣ 8 = 60.8 mA
Maximal electric current = 600 ma ( while using salt water)
8. Voltage between the cathode and anode during the electrolysis: 1,96 V – 20.6 V*

Note *: Depending on water resistivity

A) While using of a tap water with resistivity 2000 Om* cm

V = V begin of electrolysis + I x Relectrolyte + I x Rmembrane

Relectrolyte = ρ x L/ S , Relectrolyte >> Rmembrane

Were,
V – voltage
I – electric current
ρ – resistivity of electrolyte, Om x cm
L – distance between the electrodes, cm
S – area of the electrode plate, cm2

V = 1. 7 V + I x ρ x L/ S = 1.7 V + 0.068A x 2000 Om x1cm /108 cm2 = 1,96 V

Note: *we considered that the electric resistance of semi- permeable membrane is several times less than
resistance of the electrolyte (tap water)

B) While using of RO water with resistivity 30 000 Om x cm

V = V begin of electrolysis + I x Relectrolyte + I x Rmembrane

Relectrolyte = ρ x L/ S , Relectrolyte >> Rmembrane

V = 1. 7 V + I x ρ x L/ S = 1.7 V + 0.068A x 30 000 Om x1cm /108 cm2 = 20.6 V
